Needing a bit of bloggy help!

OK, by now most of you have heard the story of my brother Mike.

I miss him terribly!!

Mike passed away June 27th of this year after a long hard battle with kidney cancer.

Not only was Mike a great man of God...but he was an awesome graphic artist, as well as a published poet.

After he died, I found a binder of about 300 poems that Mike wrote. They made me laugh....they made me cry! They really told the story of my brothers heart.

Now for the help part......

I would love to have these poems bound into a paperback book (that he named when he put the binder together). It is my intention to sell the books and give the proceeds to our Relay For Life team ! I think this would be a great tribute to my brother, as well as a great way to raise money for cancer research. I have a list of people all ready that want to buy the book. Our Hospice as agreed to sell them, as well as a few friends we have that own businesses.

Great idea right??? I just need to know where to start!

Does anyone have any ideas about self publishing a book? I know we did them fairly inexpensively as church cookbooks. When I contacted that publishing company, they tell me they only do cookbooks! Grrrrrrr

I've found a lot of that.

There HAS to be a company or a way to do a small paperback book that will not cost an arm and a leg! I'm not looking to sell them in a bookstore, or get royalties....I just want a simple paperback of Mikes work.

Any suggestions???
